Hello tPF,

I have been offered a Birkin 35 black Togo leather with silver hard wear direct from a hermes boutique, I only buy from the boutique.

I currently own a Birkin 30 raisin Togo leather. Lindy coco 34, garden party 36 gold all leather unused, Kelly wallet black unused, Evelyn blue sapphire GM & Victoria in a petroleum colour...can't remember the real name!

Questions:

Do I sell my Birkin 30 & other bags to the equivalent cost of the 35 and buy the black 35?

Or just turn down the 35? And keep with what I have?

I wish I could keep them all both but I can't.

Hermes is my hobby, I only spend a set amount so I don't break that rule...I buy for fun and the 'chase' of that all elusive bag.

Which one would you choose if you were only allowed to own 1 Birkin?

Thanks for your kind guidance. Xx

Thank you all for your advice, it really has been so helpful. I feel equally torn between the 2 B's so I've decided to buy the Black B35 and keep the B30 raisin.

I think everyone is right, I may regret selling my B30 but I'll also regret not buying the B35. Both sizes have their uses in my wardrobe.

I'll try and sell my other bags but if not, I'm sure in time, I will find use for them at an occasion.

Great. You will not regret it. Having a B35 black myself and a B30 I can tell you I am very happy. I love big bags and they fit my style and my traveling needs.
Enjoy your B's. [emoji178][emoji178][emoji178]

I'm glad you opted to keep your B 30. I was so in love with the size, that one day I tried it on in store, but realised that the bag didn't really suit me. I have two B 35's, and I can guarantee you, it's a good work bag - that holds up a lot, but will get very heavy...

Thank you so much everyone.

I'll get around to posting a reveal soon.

Need to find a good consignment agency to sell my unused bags...any ideas or is that another thread?

I see you're from London. In knightsbridge, in Cheval Pl. there's lots of consignment shops, like Salou, pandora dress agency to mention a few, who would buy them off or sell them for you. Otherwise, you can always contact 'hydeparkfashion' - which i believe are good?

I'd keep the raisin if the hardware on it is gold. Much better than black IMO (even if I'm a loner on this opinion). But then again you need to know if the 30cm work out for you. Also I wouldn't sell since I like the look of the Lindy a lot (never owned one yet).

I have the opportunity to purchase a 30 cm birkin in black or a 35 cm in etoupe . I am thoroughly confused as the black is a more wearable color than etoupe . Although I know I will use etoupe a lot too . I am just not sure as to if 30 is too small . Please advise .

Congratulations on having a good dilemma. I'm 5'6" and prefer 30s. I have a black B 30 and a Jypsiere in etoupe. I find etoupe to be a great neutral and year round. Although I use my black in summer, I tend to not use it as much as my other color bags. Only you and your wardrobe can decide. I would totally add a B30 in etoupe to my collection once I am able to get others higher up on my wish list.

Good luck!

As a big fan of 35 I started to love 30 too! it's lighter and big enough! But really depends on you and how you see yourself with a smaller bag. Black in 30 more elegant etoupe in 35 very casual bag but still a classic. I own a 35 in etoupe and I used it a lot.

You won't be wrong with both. :p
